New Deisels for

A. N. Retire Old

Steam Engines

Four 1000-Horsepbwer Locomotives
Added To Equipment At
Cost of $400,000

The Apalachicola Northern Rail-
road has gone 'strictly modern with
the addition of four 1000-ho0fse-
power deisel' locomotives purchased
at a cost of $400,000. which com-
pletely deiselize the line, since the
Doodlebug is also deisel-operated.
Purchase of the new work horses
retires eight steam locomotives and
seves, the line's last link with the
old coal and -wood-burning days of
railroading.
Outlay for the new locomotives
brings to $3,100,000 the amount
the duPont interests have spent on
the A. N. since it was purchased
from receivership in 1936 to reha-
bilitate and modernize the road and
provide better service along the 100-
mile route the line serves.
Powered by 12-cylinder engines
iand having a top speed, of 50 miles
pe.r hour, the neew units burn ap-
proximately 3-25 gallons of oil on
the 204-mile round trip to. Chatta-
hoochee, according to statistics oni
the initial trip. Steam-driven loco-
motives generate only about one-
third the power of a deisel unit and
are much more expensive to oper-
ate.
On the initial trip a two-engine
unit hauled, 2,660 tons of freight on
the outward trip and on the run
back from Chattahoochee brought
2.587 tons.

election to be held November 4 un-
der a law passed 'by the last ses-
sion of the legislature.

five districts. The candidates re-

Our Country 5 Right or Wrong

THE SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELECTION
The election to be held November 4 for the
selection of three school trustees to serve the
entire county is going to be more or less con-
fusing tu many people, who may jump to the
conclusion that the new school law is a very
bad one and widely discriminatory in effect.
This is not necessarily the case, but we aec
of the opinion that it is going to take a year
or so before the people will become familiar.
enough with the mechanics of the law to evalu-
ate its good or bad points and then decide whe-
ther it is to be continued or abolished. Only
time will tell the story.
At the moment, however, every freeholder
of Gulf county should strive to inform himself
in regard to the coming trustee election and
be prepared to go to the polls and cast his vote
for the three best qualified men to serve the
entire county. These three men nust collime
from thd f'e school board member districts-,
and no two of them can come from the same
district.
When the vote has been taken throughout
the county, which has been constituted into
one special tax school district, the three men
receiving the highest number of votes will he
declared elected. Candidates are nominated by
districts, but they are voted on county-wide, "
and although there are five districts, only three
trustees can be elected to serve the entire
county.
It should be remembered that the trustees
are no longer district trustees, as under the
old law, but that they will now represent but
one district (the county) and their duties will
be to recommend teachers and faculties for all
the schools of the county, just as district trus-
tees did under the old law for the schools
within their respective tax school district's.

PLAYING WITH DYNAMITE
The attitude .of a great many people toward
the problem of inflation is not helpful. They
dodge the facts involved. Most people cannot
build homes. Their ability to buy many of the
better foods is diminishing. Basic manufactur-

ONLY MULLET AND MACKREL
CAN BE TAKEN WITH BIG NET

Taking any fish but mullet or
mackerel with a net or seine
greater than 350 yards in length is
illegal for salt water fishermen, ac-
cording to the state attorney gen-
e.ral.
He was asked by J. T. Hurst, su-
pervisor of the state board of con-
servation, if larger nets could, bet
used for catching other salt water
fish than mullet or mackerel. The
attorney general pointed out that
it is not illegal to use larger nets,
but if in. so doing the fishermen
catch anything but mullet or maek-
erel, they must be thrown back to
avoid getting crossed up with the
law.

prices to the point of crippling mass produc-
tion. The distribution industry, also dependent
upon high volume movement of goods, is up
against a similar situation. Intelligent farm-
ers are aware that disaster is the inevitable
consequence of endlessly rising prices. Union
leaders with a grain of sense under their liats
will admit, privately if not publicly, that a race
between wages and prices, if continued long
enough, 11il make paupers of American work-
men.
Tragic is the attitude of many of our public
officials who, while waging a political sham
battle against inflation, are fully aware that
the solvency of the federal governmlest and the
integrity of the dollar itself are at stake. All
of us, from the president down, are observing
the. result of inflation and depreciated money,
in country after country, from China to Eng-
land. Desperate people in such countries have
submitted to ruthless dictatorships which are
destroying their liberties. They are losing
spiritual and moral values in a futile scramble
for a false security, the like of which the world
has never seen.
It is almost unbelievable that in the face of
this situation, leading citizens, in and out of
public life in the United States, can for a mo-
ment play politics with inflation, or utter a
single word which they do not believe to be
based upon sound reasoning-yet it is being
done daily.

WILDLIFE DIMINISHING

Wildlife on the North American continent
is diminishing very fast, according to the fore-
most authorities on fish and game, and we in
Gulf county should be well cognizant of that
fact when we look back twenty years and re-
member how easy it was to go out into the
woods and withhil a short time return. witil
a deer or a couple of turkeys, and how you
could go up to the Dead Lakes and catch your
limit of sixty in all hour or so. Can you do it
today? You certainly can not!
The reason for this is not hard to discovci.
There are too many human beings, with bet-
ter instruments of destruction and transporta-
tion. In many cases, the rules arc violated by
rapacious sportsmen who have no interest in
the preservation of wildlife.
Recent conventions found some criticism
levelled against stockmen and agencies build-
ing dams and other public works. The charge
is that little attention is being paid to recre-
ational and wildlife values and that there has
been unnecessary destruction of wildlife.
\Ve do not intend to get into any argument
about these protests, since there are two sides
to the proposition, and we do know that sev-
eral large landholders in Gulf county are co-
operating in various ways to work for conser-
vation, but practically everyone can agree that
greater attention .must.be paid to the conser-
vation of wildlife.

Stockings, it is reported, were invented in
the eleventh century, but were not seen until
the twentieth.

Named to Head
March of Dimes

Judge George E. Holt
Florida's March of Dimes will be
headed again in 1948 by Judge
George E. Holt of Miami, Basil
O'Connor, president of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
.announced today. Judge Ho t was
,chairman of the 1947 campaign.
The 1948 drive, scheduled for Jan.
15-30, will mark the tenth anniver-
sary of the National Foundation,
set up by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to "lead, direct and unify"
the fight against infantile paralysis.
The March of Dimes each year is
the National Foundation's sole sup-
port.
Judge Holt, a former professor
of law at the University of Miami,
practiced law for 16 years after his
graduation from Vanderbilt Univer-
sity In 1925. In 1941 he was ap-_
.Dponted to the bench, and is now
circuit judge of the 11th Judicial
Circuit of Florida.
A former member of the Florida
State Legislature, he served for two
years during the war in the Coast
iGuard Reserve as commanding of-
fleer of the Port Security Force at
-Miami.
' Mr. O'Connor, in announcing
-Judge Holt's acceptance of the 1948
.chairmanship, revealed that since
1943 infantile paralysis has stricken
-anore than 72,0'00 Americans.
"Thousands," he warned, "con-
-tinue to face a long fight for re-
-we had a 'breathing spell' as polio
incidence nationally did not ap-
proach the awful total of 1946.
"The cost of the 1946 epidemi(
alone will run to some $30,000,000,
Without taking into account the
Iarge sums necessary to care for
;those stricken this summer. \Ve' do
not know what 1948 may bring, but
-we must be prepared."

Record Attendance At
October P.-T. A. Meet
The record attendance at the Oc-
tlber meeting of the Parent-
Teacher Association Thursday eve--'
nung of last week is proof that the
citizenry of Port St. Joe are at last
becoming P.-T. A.-minded. No ac-I
tual count was made, but the crowd
was estimated to be over 125, and
a goodly number of those present
were nmen.
A fitting devotional, led by Rev.
Billy Daniel, was followed by the
businel's session, presided over by
Mrs. Edwin Ramsey in her usual
ef-icient manner. At this time the
organization voted to send Mrs.
Ramsey and Mrs,. Ralph Swatts as
delegates to the state convention to
be held in St. Peterslburg early in
November; to continue the use of
handbills to publicize meetings;, to
help in the safety program by help-
ing to make flags for the schoolboy
patrol, and to place in the school a
chest in -which clothes may be
placed for the benefit of needy
children.
After urging parents to visit tihe
schools during American Education
Week, the president turned -the
meeting over to the program chair-
man, Rev. Tom Byrne, who began
the program with a period of group
singing. Dr. Terry Bird of Apalach--
cola, director of the tri-c:ounty
health unit, speaking- on "Today's
Health Problems," discussed the
county setup, explaining how the4
health program is being carried on
in Gulf county.
The social hour -following the
program provided an excellent op-
portunity for parents and teachers
to become better, acquainted, as
well as to enjoy cake and coca-colas.

You needn't be rich to serve meat fairly often (though nowa-
days it certainly helps if you are!). You can stretch small
amounts surprisingly far by combining them with A&P's sen-
sibly-priced cereals and canned foods. Here's how:

ENJOY A GOOD, LONG LOAF!
To make a man-size meat loaf at
a budget-wise price, combine 11
lbs. ground meat, 1 egg', tsp.
pepper, 2 tsps. salt, % cup chopped
celery, 2 tbsps. chopped onion,- ,
cup choppedcelery
'. leaves and 1 can
tomato soup. Mix
well. Add 4 cups
of A&P's crispy
,r SUNNYFIELD
CORN FLAKES
or SUNNYFIELD WHEAT
FLAKES (slightly crushed).
Pack into greased 9"x5"x3" loaf
pan and bake in moderate oven,
375'F., 114 hours. 6 to 8 servings.

BAKED BEANS? BY ALL MEANS
When finances are low, give thanks
for franks and A&P's thrifty
ANN PAGE BEANS... and put
them together like this: To two 16-
oz. cans of beans, add 2 or 3 sliced I
frankfurters, 1 tbsp. brown sugar,
% tsp. grated onion, and 14 cup
tomato juice or ketchup. Pour into
baking dish or bean pot and bake
in a moderate oven, 350F., 25-30
minutes. 6 satisfying servings. *

STRETCH IT OUT WITH KRAUTI
You won't hear a single beef about
ground beef prepared this way:
To '2 lb., add 1/ tsp. salt; shape
into balls and cook in 2 tbsps. fat
until browned, turning occasional-
ly. Add 1 cup boiling water, 2
onions (cut in halves), 1 cup
cooked or canned tomatoes and 1
-2 can of A&P SAUERKRAUT.
Sinuner about 1 hour. Serves 4.
LEFT-OVER "PUSH-OVER"
Two cups of left-over meat will
serve 4 to 6 people .. right... if
it's stretched so: Mix together 1
finely chopped onion, A', t p. salt,
1 tsp. horseradish, 1 tap. mustard
and r% tsp. pep-
per. Add to 2 cups
mashed potatoes .
Combine 1 cgg' '.
(beaten), 1'% cup
WHITE HOUSE .
EVAPORATED
MILKC from the A&P (undiluted),
1 tbsp. melted marr,a:-, ; 'e and 2
cups left-over or ready-cooked
meat (chopped). Add to potat.
mixture and pile into greased 1,
quart casserole. Bake in hot oven,
425F:, 25 minutes.
